The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Prilep
The DMS coordinates are: 42°30'27'' N 20°19'4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 42.5075°
LngO = 20.31778°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -42.5075°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 20.31778 - 180° = -159.68222°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Prilep is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-42.5075, -159.68222)
In DMS format: 42°30'27'' N 20°19'4'' E .
